Hahahahaha... ya he'd do the trick.
Must say tho I feel for the poor oke. R500k. Geez. And the worst of our issues are slow NNTP downloads.
Hmmm... I hope they don't say p*rn streaming is killing throughput.
Hahahahaha...

That was pretty hectic... I'm not sure how I would feel if R500,000 disappeared from my bank account...
Not that I have that much money that could disappear... :erm:

The fact that the ombudsman ruled against him tells me that there are mitigating circumstances.

Once again. I get a message from Telkom to say my line has been fixed. So, now my line has is syncing on 18mbps despite me PAYING for a 20mbps line. It's always been syncing at 20mbps, now suddenly this. Also, huge latency and huge jitter. what the hell?
It doesn't reflect as such below, but this is def not a 20mbps line right now. Thank God for Axxess and Vox. much better service on these 2 platforms. Seems like i'm being forced to take my business elsewhere. Thanks for 4/5 years of no consumer investment and retention AH!
Download Speed: 10075 kbps (1259.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 728 kbps (91 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 118 ms
Jitter: 18 ms

Nope. Which server? Post the traceroute. Will compare to the one I'm getting.
Latency to BBC and Vodafone UK around ~187ms. Speedtest from Vodafone UK around 18mbps.

Having issues streaming on YT now, Twitch is just as borked since 10AM this morning.
EDIT: I switched from my AH account to my Afrigreen account for giggles but it's performing much better? What is going on AH?

Yes. Youtube is fine for me, actually quite good. But latency is high again, my old friend in Cape Town is at it again...

Next line says "You will not be billed for April", but the roll-over data expires end of April.
We've chatted about this extensively on PM and in other threads. Using another ISP data account can't fix your line sync, which is the core of the issue. While resetting the line (which is effectively what happens when you switch ISP accounts and reboot your router) might temporarily improve the results, all your ISP accounts will suffer similar issues. If you're not willing to downgrade your line to a sync profile that it can support, the performance is going to be unpredictable
There is absolutely no difference, @afrigreen is simply another realm which connects to the same network and network rules. What might be happening is that after changing your account, the reboot reset your port connection and improved performance.
Any issues on your ping to BRAS? Definitely seems like more latency than we'd like to the UK, should be 160ms - 180ms

Nope, I always check BRAS. It averages 17ms during the period. Also, quite handily, there is a speedtest (Vodacom) server in Port Elizabeth now. I always get full speed to that one (30mb down) and low latency.
